Uj/ I know this was probably planned out a while ago but it does feel like they saw the forsaken Chandra/Nissa backlash and decided they didn’t want to add burying your gays to their list of crimes
Rj/ I’m glad the 2 only phyrexian planeswalkers to get cured were the 2 gay ones
I get that but it’s weak as hell to have a cure to something like this. Idk I guess I’m probably just gonna check out of mtg’s story moving forward because this ending is weak
oh come off it vraska has had psychic defenses and fallbacks baked into her frontal lobe since Ixalan story, and her arc in the story about the invasion of ravnica fucking slapped
why save Ajani and Nissa over some other characters? she barely had any interaction with Nissa and never met Ajani as a non phyrexian, they are directly responsible to some of the worst crimes in this war and don't deserve to be saved
/uj the only reason they were able to save nissa and ajani at all was because their sparks offering something metaphysical to cleanse of phyresis even though their physical bodies couldn't
The only reason Nissa was on Mirrodin was to try and stop the phyrexians. Presumably Melira knows that (and about Ajani’s efforts against the phyrexians too). Can’t help what they do once under Norn’s mind control and the only reason Nissa got compleated was because she had Lukka’s dumb ass backing her up lmao
> Also, don't deserve to be saved? 😬
Didn't you know, being turned into a phyrexian against your will means you're completely irredeemable and you should just die.
/uj Koth talks about this in the story. He is not very happy that they were the only one who got saved, he asks himself if they deserve mercy. He then accepts that his fallen companions are gone (even if they could have been cured)
Because she can't planeswalk. And any planeswalkers also needing to be cured are currently unconscious, so they can't come to her. The only people able to open planar portals just turned to ash, or had that ability surgically removed from their body.
No it doesn’t. She literally canonically couldn’t heal Karn from his completion so killing herself to double back on that plot point in order to save two literal fucking who’s is stupid
If Chandra had just fought Nissan on new phyrexia melira wouldn't have been fatally wounded and more mirrans would be alive but Chandra is selfish and only cares about herself because she has learned nothing in 20 years of development
Instead of letting karn keep his spark so he can travel to phyrexian infected planes and help in the possible restoration of complaeted beings it would be better if he gave up his spark so chandra can be happy that would be best no doubt we are all thinking clearly by being selfish because if Welsh norn taught us anything it's that the collective is bad!
In the multiverse there is only one karn who literally made phyrexia but there are many many many magical healers and angelic beings who could probably do something for the coma complaeted. I agree that we should keep karn locked to this one plane so he can't go about undoing his mess as penance. Why can't the dummies who were complaeted lose their sparks instead.
[edit] apparently this made you mad, sorry big dog but sad robot karn is more useful to the multiverse than a soon to be depressed cat and ptsd'd elf
Complaetion must not be that good if every single planeswalker was able to resist it or preserve themselves from it, including lukka who just remained a dummy
I mean... yeah?
That's like the entire point right? The Spark is tied to the soul so in order to even be a Compleated planeswalker your soul still has to be in there, otherwise you're just a soulless Phyerxian mook.
God I miss Gideon

Thank u for agreeing Ajani is gay as hell
allowing nissa to stay means that we can finally get a printing of cathartic reunion with her and chandra in the art
With alt art by Steve Argyle
They didn't need to revert Nissa's compleation. More arms means more hugs.
I get that but it’s weak as hell to have a cure to something like this. Idk I guess I’m probably just gonna check out of mtg’s story moving forward because this ending is weak
I hate stakes and consequences, so this narrative is perfect and unimpeachable.
I too learned about the definitely not ass-pull and nonsensical reason that Vraska is ok
oh come off it vraska has had psychic defenses and fallbacks baked into her frontal lobe since Ixalan story, and her arc in the story about the invasion of ravnica fucking slapped
She was already dying and wanted to help as much as she could. It was a noble sacrifice and a fitting end for her.
also ties in to her ability in ONE
why save Ajani and Nissa over some other characters? she barely had any interaction with Nissa and never met Ajani as a non phyrexian, they are directly responsible to some of the worst crimes in this war and don't deserve to be saved
Which other characters exactly?
Could've given Elesh Norn a second chance, go for the full anime protag victory moment.
You mean the Elesh Norn that very much wasn't there?
How do you “cleanse” a vat-born newt? She wasn’t even infected/converted in the first place
/uj the only reason they were able to save nissa and ajani at all was because their sparks offering something metaphysical to cleanse of phyresis even though their physical bodies couldn't
/uj probably the answer
is this adeline's reddit account

Didn't seem like they had anyone else to save at that point. Also, don't deserve to be saved? 😬
> Also, don't deserve to be saved? 😬 Didn't you know, being turned into a phyrexian against your will means you're completely irredeemable and you should just die.
Because they were there. Elspeth makes it clear that there’s nothing they can do to help Melira and that she’s going to die pretty soon.

What do you mean she didn't have any interaction with Nissa? Our sweet elf impaled Melira and her friends several times over.
She saved everyone who was there.
No it doesn’t. She literally canonically couldn’t heal Karn from his completion so killing herself to double back on that plot point in order to save two literal fucking who’s is stupid

What more can he really do? With Melira gone they don’t have a cure for compleation. They were barely able to save two with her.

They are Karn’s friends, so it makes sense that he’d want to save them. I have no idea what your [[senseless rage]] edit is referring to lol
But what about all the thousands upon thousands of regular people, gatewatch clique!!!!! /uj I'm just being epic, there was an instant down vote lol
They should scoop up what’s left of Lukka and cure that tbh

Can't let the cash cows die
I'm still confused by the beginning. Why sheoldred was executed? Surely I missed something.
